I installed a Matris kit with 1.15 springs in it before I added the new shock...But its only after adding the Penkse shock that I have the rear wheel dragging on the ground on the center stand... The rear of the bike seems higher to when on the side stand...

On my 09 Norge I have a Penske 8983 shock with a 950 spring..from Guzzitech... With the shock installed and the bike on the center stand the rear wheel isn't off the ground like it use to be...??? Makes it hard to change tires ect... I pulled the shock and measure the eyelet on the stock and...
It is very comfy.. When I am forced to slab it I can push myself back in the so called pocket and be comfy...But seat allow me to slid a tad forward and still move around in the twisty bits...And even better than that the wife is happy and doesn't need to stop every 60 miles..

if you look at the wiring diagram you will see both wheel sensor are directly connected to the abs unit, and then there is a input from the abs unit to the dash.....So it could be either sensor...but that is the error 56 and why you have no speedo..

Bottom line much better.....still fill the bumps in the road but its not harsh like it was...But it much...
Mystery solved...I went out and check my fork oil height tool...With it set at 120mm when I measured it it was 100mm..Guess that is why my ride was so harsh....

. I compared a stock fork with 450ml oil and B11 fork with 120mm oil level measured from the top with the flow regulator in place and the fork tube bottomed out. Found there to be 10mm difference but the spring arrangement may account for that...
very little to effort is required to get the caps back on....the plunger valve thing from the matris kit is seated.....I am gonna pull the forks and double check fluid height 120mm correct??? with the springs and spacer out and plunger in place....
I wish some one could tell me what rate spring...
Ever since I installed my Matris front fork kit on my 09 Norge its seems to ride much harsher..It feel much more planted in the twistes but I feel every bump in the road...I have talked with to others who have installed these kits and they all say there ride got smoother...Something isn;t quite...
